March 10th - It's time to blog about part 2 of the building process! It's coming along slowly but surely! I have 7 weeks left in my pregnancy so there is no way that we will be in the house and comfortable before they get here! :( That makes me sad because I really want newborn pictures of the boys in the new house in their new nursery but we will just have to do them later.
Today we went to McMinnville to pick out the brick. Here is the color we picked out. I believe the name of it was Cortez.
Here is the house wrapped and ready for the brick! If only we can find a brick layer that isn't already backed up with work!
Liam didn't want to leave the house so he ran to the back of the house and tried to hide in a closet.
March 16th and plumbing has been put in!
Electric was also put in around the same time as the plumbing but I didn't get a picture of it. March 19th we went to Nashville to look for hardwood and tile. Here is the hardwood for the house and the tile for all the "wet" rooms except for our master bedroom. Bedrooms and play room will be carpet. We aren't really sure what we want in our master bathroom so we needed more time to think that one through.
April 2nd was the day for insulation to be put in.
April 3rd they started sheet rock. They had it all put up in 2 days. It is starting to look more like a house now!
No its not painted green. This is special sheet rock called green board that keeps moisture from absorbing and causing mold. This was put in all the bathrooms. Ryan is admiring his shower here. The shower is his favorite place to be. I guess that is why we have 3 different shower heads in this shower!
They also started putting up the brick the same day they started the sheet rock.
April 10th and the brick is coming along. The right side of the house is completed and half of the back of the house is done!
We had them "coin" the corners. I think it looks better! We also did decorative trim around the windows and doors. All windows and doors on the front and both sides also have keystones which are the concrete V shaped blocks.
Back of the house
This will be our screened in porch. It still needs to have concrete poured in it. $$$ :S
They poured in the concrete to start working on the front porch and steps.
They also started mudding the joints of the dry wall.
This will be the kitchen/living room.
April 13th and there is a little more progress on the brick!
Practically half of the house is bricked now!
April 21st they started putting the siding/soffet up. So happy to see this progress!
They also finished this side of the house and have almost completed the front of the house!!!! The gas company came out and flagged where the gas lines are going to go. The dry wall guys are still working on the inside but hope to be completely finished by the end of this week and then its time for paint! I have all my colors picked out believe it or not! We also went this week to pick out all of our fixtures for the house so when it comes that time we are ready for that!
April 25th and the brick is completed. Jason Freeze started painting the ceilings. He figures it will take him about 8 hours to finish all the ceilings and then he can start on painting the rooms. The siding has to be finished on the outside but it's coming together! Stay tuned for Part 3!
